Ability to specify MULTIPLE server Names or IP Addresses in the Policy Server area of the Policy - Communication section.

If agents can check the first server and cannot communicate, check a second to allow for ISP issues at the target when checking into remote servers. I use dual ISP and can direct multiple policy server hostnames to a single internal server but requires the ability to specify the second hostname (alternate ISP IP) in the communication section of the policy for agents to be able to use them both.

Not all agents have a local policy server that can be reached within the network. Currently, if the agent cannot reach a local or remote, specified Update Server - the agent will go online to Vipre directly for updates (using the check box to download via the Internet if local updates are unavailable) . However, If no policy server is reached, no check-in/update indefinitely until it is available.

Perhaps an alternative approach to specifying multiple servers in the same box under the Communications Section would be an option or section created to allow for a 'check alternate policy server if primary policy server is unavailable' checkbox such as with the updates?

Thanks,

Interesting idea... do you think that the introduction of VIPRE Cloud (which clients can access from anywhere as long as they have basic internet access) means this feature isn't as relevant? Or is there still a strong use case for this?
